Abstract
The design of nanostructured materials occupies a privileged position in the development and management of affordable and effective technology in the antibacterial sector. Here, we discuss the antimicrobial properties of three carbonaceous nanoblades and nanodarts materials of graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that have a mechano-bactericidal effect, and the ability to piercing or slicing bacterial membranes. To demonstrate the significance of size, morphology and composition on the antibacterial activity mechanism, the designed nanomaterials have been characterized. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), standard agar well diffusion, and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to evaluate the antibacterial activity of GO, RGO, and SWCNTs. Based on the evidence obtained, the three carbonaceous materials exhibit activity against all microbial strains tested by completely encapsulating bacterial cells and causing morphological disruption by degrading the microbial cell membrane in the order of RGO > GO > SWCNTs. Because of the external cell wall structure and outer membrane proteins, the synthesized carbonaceous nanomaterials exhibited higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacterial strains than Gram-negative and fungal microorganisms. RGO had the lowest MIC values (0.062, 0.125, and 0.25 mg/mL against B. subtilis, S. aureus, and E. coli, respectively), as well as minimum fungal concentrations (0.5 mg/mL for both A. fumigatus and C. albicans). At 12 hr, the cell viability values against tested microbial strains were completely suppressed. Cell lysis and death occurred as a result of severe membrane damage caused by microorganisms perched on RGO nanoblades. Our work gives an insight into the design of effective graphene-based antimicrobial materials for water treatment and remediation.

Abstract
Accurately detect the residues of organophosphate pesticides (OPs) in food and environment is critical to our daily lives. In this study, we developed a novel acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor based on Au-Tb alloy nanospheres (NSs) for rapid and sensitive detection of OPs for the first time. Au-Tb alloy NSs that with good conductivity and biocompatibility were produced with a mild hydrothermal. Under optimal conditions, the AChE biosensor was obtained by a simple assembly process, with a big linear range (10-13-10-7M) and the limit of detection was 2.51 × 10-14M for the determination of methyl parathion. Moreover, the determination of methyl parathion with the prepared biosensor presented a high sensitivity, outstanding repeatability and superior stability compared with other reported biosensors. Through the determination of tap water and Yanming lake samples, it was proved that the modified biosensor with satisfactory recoveries (96.76%-108.6%), and are realizable in the determination of OPs in real samples.

Abstract
A new enzyme-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) pesticide sensor was fabricated based on ternary nanocomposite of ruthenium nanoparticles/silver nanoparticles/graphene oxide on the surface of glassy carbon electrode for ultratrace determination of diazinon. Due to some drawbacks of enzyme-based sensors such as enzyme instability at elevated temperature, humidity, changes of pH, and high price of the enzyme, the use of enzyme was omitted in the construction of the developed sensor. The silver nanoparticles with good electrocatalytic proficiency as a signal improving agent and tris(2,2bipyridine) ruthenium(II) as a popular luminophore were uniformly deposited on the surface of the prepared graphene oxide/GC electrode at nanoscale. Boron nitride quantum dots as an efficient co-reactant created the superior efficiency in amplifying the ECL intensity of the ruthenium-based ECL system. The prepared electrode was utilized for the detection of diazinon via the robust ECL method. For the present sensor, a wide linear dynamic range and low detection limit were achieved (3.0 × 10-15 to 6.5 × 10-9 M and 9.5 × 10-16 M, respectively). The obtained results confirmed the fabrication of the robust ECL probe, which is characterized by the cooperative effect of silver nanoparticles and the attached luminophore species. The main advantage of the presented sensor was that the samples could be diluted so that the effect of the interference species was negligible. Due to excellent properties toward accurate determination of diazinon, the ECL sensor as a new practical platform was applied for quantitative detection of diazinon in some real samples.

Abstract
Herein, an innovative enzyme free electrochemiluminescence chlorpyrifos sensor was reported based on the incorporation of ternary nanocomposite (ruthenium nanobeads/silver nanoparticles/graphene oxide) on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The silver nanoparticles as a robust signal enhancing agent were well deposited on the modified graphene oxide/glassy carbon electrode and exhibited supreme electrocatalytic proficiency. Then, Ru(bipy)32+ species in bead-like nanoparticles were uniformly anchored on the surface of the modified electrode with the help of chitosan, as a good crosslinking agent. Boron nitride quantum dots as a new coreactant species showed the excellent proficiency for signal enhancement of the fabricated electrode. The fabricated electrode was successfully used as an ultra-sensitive sensor for trace analysis of chlorpyrifos by ECL technique. The wide linear range and the low detection limit were obtained from 5.0 × 10-15 to 4.2 × 10-9 M and 6.5 × 10-16 M, respectively.

Abstract
Pesticides, which can accumulate in soil, water, animals and plants, are essential to world agriculture. Developing a method that can efficiently and quickly detect toxic pesticides is of importance but still a challenge. Here, two luminescent dye@MOFs systems, Rho B@1 and Rho 6G@1, were successfully fabricated based on [Cd2(tib)(btb)(H2O)2]∙NO3∙2DMF (1). This work is the first use of two fluorescent sensors as dual-emitting platforms for detecting pesticides. As a result, the fluorescence intensity ratios between the two main emissions can be tuned using the concentrations of the dye solutions, and the emissions are at 370 nm/606 nm and 370 nm/590 nm for Rho B@1 and Rho 6G@1, respectively. The intensities of the two main emissions of Rho B@1 and Rho 6G@1 are also influenced by the chemical structures of pesticides with electron-withdrawing groups. It is important that high sensitivity and selectivity for sensing pesticides must have good recyclability. Rho B@1 and Rho 6G@1 can still remain stable regarding the detection of nitenpyram even after 5 cycles, with LODs of 0.48 nM for Rho B@1 and 3 nM for Rho 6G@1, which indicate that these two luminescent dye@MOFs systems are excellent fluorescence probe candidates for the selective detection of pesticides.
